Barbara Bernard writes interestingly about things within her personal experience, but sometimes she seems to go off on a tangent. An example is her recent column about voter lists, in which she mixed comments about the importance of accuracy with wild claims found in “some reports” that, for example, bands of people were organized in California to “systematically go from one voting poll to another” using dead people’s information to “vote several times," “Electorate deserves accurate voter lists,” May 8, page P2.

Given the amount of partisan hyperbole, misinformation, and flat out lies surrounding the topic of voter fraud, I think it behooves someone in Ms. Bernard’s position to make an effort not to add to the problem.

As the saying goes, she’s entitled to her own opinions, but not to her own facts.
